Dress to Impress
The formalities of dress and design have been left behind
for far more colourful expressions of your love.
Your choice in wardrobe during this special time away will
help to enhance the spirit of your romance.
Dressed For The Occasion
The climate of your honeymoon destination will play a
significant role in the choice of clothing you’ll wear. The idea
of cotton Bermuda shorts, a loose fitting short-sleeved shirt
and open-toed sandals sits well with most travellers, provided
they have the weather to match.
An early summer in Europe is nothing like an early summer in
Australia. The weather can turn on you with deceptive ease. The
sunny day you dressed for remains bright and blue, yet the
temperature drops alarmingly because of a bitter northern
breeze.
On the other side of the equator, the light rain jacket you
packed hasn’t got a chance against the deluge of a daily
monsoon.
The weather is only a problem if you haven’t done your
homework. Ask your travel agent about the worst-and-best-case
seasonal scenarios that you might be likely to encounter at your
destination.
With your research complete, go shopping for a wardrobe that
will take advantage of every climatic twist your destination can
conjure. Every possible item is easily available on the
Australian market.
Remember to choose items that will complement your existing
wardrobe.
Clothes For Any Occasion
After the formalities of your wedding, the temptation is to
let go and let yourself dress down to the point of no return.
Don’t be fooled. Your resort wardrobe is all about comfort and
style. A good rule-of-thumb in dressing for the day is to choose
clothing that lifts your mood and enhances your sense of
self-confidence.
Comfort is the key. Therefore, choose your garment on how
delightful it feels against your skin as well as how
attractively it has been designed. In warmer climates, it would
be advisable to avoid 100% synthetic fabrics (except swimwear
where it is often preferable to wear synthetic fibres) as they
don’t ‘breath’ and can become unbearable in humid conditions.
Natural fibres on the other hand can keep you dry and better
able to brave the weather.
The Bride's Diary can help to point you to those who can
advise you on the best way to develop a resort wardrobe that not
only meets the conditions you will face, but also meets the
standards of good taste.
Swimwear
Very few couples would not pack a swimming costume for their
Honeymoon. Even if you are visiting a cold climate many resorts
and leisure centres offer indoor heated swimming pools for your
enjoyment. Each new summer season offers a huge array of
designer swimwear from which you may choose. Regardless of your
shape you will find a flattering and modern option.
